Start saving with solar panels

The average electric rate (1) in South Carolina as of September 2021 was 12.91¢/kWh. This means that, especially during the boiling hot summer months, homeowners in the Palmetto State are spending a pretty penny to keep their home comfortable.

South Carolina solar FAQ

Can HOA restrict solar panels in South Carolina?

Yes, homeowners associations (HOAs) can legally restrict you from getting solar panels installed. Make sure you check with your HOA before making a final decision about going solar.

Do solar panels increase home value in South Carolina?

Yes, solar panels can increase the value of your home. Keep in mind that the amount depends on details like the current real estate market in your area.

Does SC have a solar tax credit?

Yes, South Carolina offers homeowners who purchase solar panels the chance to claim a 25% credit on their state income taxes.

* Beginning 12 months after the date your system is operational and continuing for 25 consecutive years, for each 12-month period, ADT Solar guarantees that your system will generate at least 95% of the annual estimated production for that 12-month period, after accounting for degradation at the rate of .33% per year. If your system does not produce the guaranteed amount for any 12-month period, and you notify ADT Solar within 2 years of the end of the applicable 12-month term, ADT Solar will pay $.10 per kWh of the difference between your system’s actual production and the guaranteed production for that 12-month period. “Actual production” means the amount of electricity produced by your particular system, which is calculated using data provided by the system or an estimate prepared by ADT Solar.

**Savings vary depending on your energy consumption, system cost, home location and characteristics, and your utility’s policies.

1 If you have taxable income and own the system, you may qualify for the solar federal investment tax credit. It is your responsibility to determine your eligibility and to apply. Consult a qualified tax professional for assistance and details.

2 Net metering and similar excess or buyback programs vary by location and utility provider and are subject to change. Rates may go up or down and the money you may save, if any, may vary. For more information about rates, contact your power company.

3 Tax and credits or incentives including those provided by federal, state, or local governments may change or end. This can impact the amount of money you might save.
